I found that modifying the passwd chat line in smb.conf to (all in one line)
passwd chat = *New*UNIX*password* %n\n *Retype*new*UNIX*password* %n\n
*Enter*new*UNIX*password* %n\n *Retype*new*UNIX*password* %n\n
*passwd:*all*authentication*tokens*updated*successfully*
works fine and also changes the Unix password, in addition to the SMB password.
